The project's delivery is the latest in a flurry of C&I activity in the region by the company, the distributed solar arm of French power giant Total.

In late November, the developer signed a contract to supply rooftop PV to an airport set to cater to Indonesia's future capital of Borneo.

Since October, the developer has also signed a deal to build a 7MW rooftop for Thai wood panel manufacturing company S Kijchai, completed a trio of solar rooftops totalling 1.2MWp for Philippines supermarket chain owner Gaisano Capital, installed 800kWp for petrochemical company Chandra Asri Petrochemical in Indonesia and deployed an 500kWp solar rooftop for the Carros Centre, an industrial park in Singapore.

Total Solar Distributed Generation claims to have a portfolio of 500MW projects in development or operation in Southeast Asia.
